Café and Adoption Center Opening Soon
After years of dreaming and months of planning, The Cats' Cradle is nearing the opening of its first Adoption Center and Cafe Café at The Mews Herald in downtown Morganton. The process has been a long one, but soon we will have our license from the state and will officially open our doors to the public. We hope to see all of our cat lovers come out for a coffee, a treat and some conversation in our relaxing lounge where you can watch our cats in their play area. Stay tuned for hours of operation and our menu, which will be announced soon.
